Obama bumped Chinese President Hu Jintao from the No.1 spot on the magazine's annual rankings.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel remained the most powerful woman at No.4 on the list,as Europe's largest economy continued to wield its influence over the troubled European Union.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin,who is running again for president,was No.2 and Hu came third as he gradually manages the transition of power to other politicians in China.
"The U.S. remains,indisputedly,the most powerful nation in the world,with the largest,most innovative economy and the deadliest military," Forbes reported.
